Probably overkill, but you could install portmanager from the ports
system if you do not already have it installed. The run:

portmanager x11/kde3 -l -f

to add/update/repair a single port with logging and forcing all of it's
dependencies to be rebuilt. A log file will be created in /var/run named
portmanager.log that you can inspect after the program finishes. I would
highly recommend that you update yours ports prior to running this
program.
